Owners of midrange and flagship Galaxy phones may need to wait until April for One UI 7, while the Galaxy A06 5G will ship with the software soon. If typical bug-squashing is responsible, Samsung is right to delay the UI release until it's perfect.

When you trade in your old phone with T-Mobile, you'll get it for free. New and existing customers can swap an old device in any condition for a new Galaxy S25+ for free, or use the credit for up to $1,000 off other models like the top-of-the-line Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (delivered as 24 monthly credits on your bill).

If you're the sort of person who likes dressing your Crocs up in Jibbitz charms, you are going to lose your mind over this Galaxy S25 case.

The Galaxy S25 is yet another competent phone from Samsung. If you've been on your current device for a few years and you're shopping for something small and new, it's a fine pick. Still, I wish Samsung had moved the ball forward a little more this year — this is another in a line of very iterative Galaxy updates.

Samsung is in the midst of rolling out its February 2025 update to Galaxy smartphones and tablets, but it's not One UI 7.
